It Takes A Man

She locked her fingers and bowed her head She said, "I'm late and I'm really scared" Now you can go but I hope you stay I'm gonna keep it either way In my daddy's El Camino In her driveway in the rain Starin' through that windshield I could see my future change And my heart hit like a hammer And my thoughts were runnin' wild Any fool can make a baby But it takes a man to raise a child I laid my head down on the wheel She said, "I know, I know it don't seem real" She closed her eyes but the tears flowed through She said, "Don't hate me for lovin' you" In my daddy's El Camino In her driveway in the rain Starin' through that windshield I could see my future change And my heart hit like a hammer And my thoughts were runnin' wild Any fool can make a baby But it takes a man to raise a child Oh, I could not reassure her I couldn't say what I had planed Couldn't put three words together So I just took her hand In my daddy's El Camino In her driveway in the rain Starin' through that windshield I could see my future change And my heart hit like a hammer And my thoughts were runnin' wild Any fool can make a baby But it takes a man to raise a child
